You do not have to enter the word "and", but, if you are looking for pages that include one thing or another, put the word OR in the search, in uppercase. You use the OR to broaden your search.

**How to Search Lesson Plans-** 1246896373 A little back story from Lucy Gray: Cheryl, Kathleen Ferenz, and I worked with Googlers Sergio Civetta and Dan Russell to develop a __search curriculum for classrooms__. It was published just as NECC started: []. It's based on Dan's work (he is a search expert and conducts research into the user experience) and we envisioned something practical and modular. The hope is that teachers will pick and choose lessons as needed to help their students become more effective searchers. If you caught Dan's booth presentations at NECC, you would understand that there is a mindset that's needed in order to arrive at good search results. Kathleen, Cheryl and I really feel that this is something that needs to be taught and cultivated with our students on a regular basis throughout their academic careers. **Each of the nine lessons has an overview and slides; in some cases, there are handouts as well.**
